broody,, AGAIN ?!?!!?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : CountrySide Family : One Thread

how many times a year can a hen go broody?? The Buff that hatched 2 out earlier this year, is at it again,, even sitting where there isnt any eggs. I didnt think they were "supposed" to go broody more than once a year.

I don't know but one of my hens is on nest #3 for 2002. :) I have to keep hunting her down because she'll go out to the big hay barn & set up a nest way back in among the bales if I take the eggs out of the regular nests. Mine is a barred rock and I thought it was just that breed that was super broody -guess not. :)

glad it isnt just me and my weird chickens. These are the first ones I havnt had just for meat. If I can only figure out why the one has changed the color of her eggs,, Ill be doing good
